HE IS THE PORTER, YOU ARE THE CLAY
O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel— Jeremiah 18:6
As guided by the Lord, Jeremiah the prophet went to the porter's house where he saw the potter molding with clay. Jeremiah 18:3-4 TPT records Jeremiah's observation at the potter's house, "So I went to the potter's workshop, and there was the potter spinning his wheel. And whenever a piece of pottery turned out flawed, he reworked it into another vessel, as seemed good to the potter". Then the Lord spoke to him the words we read in our opening scripture, "O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel". I want you to notice that the potter had the end product in his mind and when it didn't turn out accordingly he changed it. He had power over the clay. God has a purpose with your life. Don't just be engrossed with the chase of your own ambitions. Find out what is God's plan for your life.
If your life didn't turn out the way God designed, He has power both to mend and create new destinies. Don't be stuck in the mud of regret for the past mistakes you made in your life. God is big enough to mend you and create new destinies to His pleasure. He is full of mercy and compassion. The potter did not throw away the clay when it was flawed, rather he remolded it into another vessel of his choice. Don't think you or anyone is beyond God's power to repair and remold. In this process your role is to yield in submission to God the potter. God wants your focus. Proverbs 23:26 expresses God's heart to you, "My son give me your heart and let your eyes observe my ways". Hebrews 12:2 instructs you, "looking unto Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith". Focus on His word. Focus on His love. Do not sell away your priceless hope in Him.
You can live a significant and impactful life in your generation. Today, embrace His liquid, unconditional and passionate love for you.
